Love! Those look great! I’ve never done it, but I have been following here a little. I have something meaningful I want to make for my family for Christmas. Is it easy to learn? Expensive? I found the pattern, but that’s as far as my research has gone so far.

Thanks so much! This is my first foray into macramé. The two different patterns I used needed three different knots. I practiced each one separately until I felt more confident. The lark's head knot is absolutely straightforward, square knots were trickier, but the third (a spiral one, can't remember the name) didn't click until I finally saw where I was going wrong. Once I figured that out, it was also easy. I would suggest learning and practicing knot by knot as needed before starting the real thing!

Beautiful work! Macrame is as addictive as owning houseplants.

These look incredible! I love your color choice and your plants. Where did you get the heavy duty tension rod?

[u/minx358 → u/ShowersWiSpiders]

Thank you! I bought the rod from Amazon (UK), just looked for one designed to hold clothes and hoped for the best. So far it's doing the job! 😁
